You Can Now Go Fake Skydiving in Frisco

First off, let's make one thing clear. Contrary to what the company claims on its website, or what the above headline might suggest, iFly does not offer "indoor skydiving." There's no sky. No diving. Just a vertical wind tunnel and baggy jumpsuits.

That said, iFly Dallas, the company's brand-new facility at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco, does offer some pretty intense hovering. Observe:

The setup is pretty straightforward. iFlyers go through a brief instructional seminar, suit up, then hop into the wind tunnel, which produces a column of air moving at somewhere between 130 and 175 miles per hour. Then, they do some fake skydiving.

I think the experience could be vastly improved by blocking out the people sitting there watching you and make it feel like you are surrounded by sky and that there is ground below you. Seems like a simple thing to do.

@MikeDunlap Don't worry you can still go on old timey tweed rides through Oak Cliff. Though I'm sure the closing of the adult daycare center has you incredibly upset, surely someone will step up to fill the void in the EZ Bake oven cooking class offerings.
